a = Number of adults

c = Number of children


Total numbers of spectator = 441

a + c = 441


Total proceeds = 13,797 $

a * 45 $ + c * 21 $ = 13,797 $


Now you must solve system of two equation :

a + c = 441

45 a + 21 c = 13,797

Try it.


The solutions are :

a = 189

c = 252


Proof :

a * 45 $ + c * 21 $ =

189 * 45 $ + 252 * 21 $ =

8,505 $ + 5,292 $ = 13,797 $
